24 | MAY 2016 AUSTRALIAN HOTELIER
BEER DELUXE,
KING ST WHARF
WHERE: Sydney, New South Wales
WHO: Dan Nicholson, Beer Ambassador
“Served in bottles at present but certainly on our list
of 'must have on tap' for this winter is Feral Brewing’s
Boris. It is a jet black Russian imperial stout that is
absolutely beautiful. It is our best-selling imperial
stout in a bottle and we have a lot of customers who
drink it all year round. One of the enjoyable aspects of
Boris is that as the beer warms while you hold it, the
smell of deep chocolate and espresso notes are ever
more present. This is usually my last drink of the night
and with an alcohol content of 9.1%, it is a beautiful
nightcap.”
WEST VILLAGE
WHERE: Sydney, New South Wales
WHO: Cameron Hann, General Manager
“Here at West Village as the temperature drops we
tend to go for more toasted, biscuity malt flavours in
our beers. Dark ales and stouts that are a lot more
luscious with a touch more sweetness tend to be
the go-to beers as people look to settle in out of the
cold. For the start of the season we like the White
Rabbit Dark Ale, as it’s a really approachable and
sessional dark ale. With a good hint of spice and
toffee, it’s an easy choice. I’m looking forward to
the Little Creatures Winter Seasonal stout release
as we go bigger towards the middle of the year. For
something regional you can’t go past New England
Brewing Co’s Brown Ale or locally, Young Henry’s
Real Ale.”

GROSVENOR HOTEL
WHERE: Melbourne, Victoria
WHO: Alastair Dobbs, Beverage
Manager
“Melbourne is the classic winter city
and Grosvenor Hotel is the perfect
spot to enjoy winter comforts. Our
beer choice this winter is the velvety,
malt-driven Barrow Boys Black Ink
Porter. The beer offers up heady
biscuit, toffee and coffee notes while
the palate is braced by a smoky
backbone and hints of dried tropical
fruits. It is a popular choice with our
guests as it is approachable on its own
or is an ideal match with our roast
lamb shoulder.”

THE CARLTON
WHERE: Melbourne, Victoria
WHO: Steve Billington, General
Manager
“If you are a self-confessed beer
nerd like I am then you know it’s
also time to change the style of
beers that you drink. I’m moving off
lagers and Australian pale ales and
getting into IPAs, stouts and dark
ales. Mornington Peninsula IPA is
one of the more popular beers that
we stock. We sell tons of it. It’s an
American-hopped India pale ale
with a very strong hoppy flavour.
It’s a heavy tasting IPA which is
fruity on the palate with hints of
stonefruits and ends with a bitter
finish. At 6.2% it’s a strong beer and
customers love it because it leaves
them feeling all toasty and warm.”
